Wednesday Study Class 2: Parable of the Sower


Listen Later

In this Wednesday study, we reflected on Christ’s Parable of the Sower, where the seed is the Word of God and the soils represent the condition of our hearts. Together we explored how each type of soil—the path, the rocky ground, the thorns, and the good soil—reveals different ways people respond to the Gospel.

The discussion challenged us to see not only how this parable applies to the world around us, but also to our own lives. At times, we may each find ourselves hardened, shallow, distracted, or fruitful. The call of Christ is to perseverance, discipline, and formation so that our hearts may become “good soil,” bearing fruit in faith, evangelism, and commitment to Him.
